Stressed

Stressed?

Another story hot off the press
Should you want to lower stress
Johns Hopskins research found a link
That somehow soon may raise a stink
Hydrogen Sulfide found in flatus
Appears to have a healthful status
A blood enzyme it will produce
Blood pressure then it will reduce
If you’re upset – blood pressure rising
Here’s a hint that’s quite surprising
Eat some beans, build up that gas
Your high blood pressure soon will pass
Then just relax, lift up a cheek
Let that hydrogen sulfide speak
And then if someone should complain
It’s for your health you’ll just explain

Picture now a stressful meeting
Beans and lettuce they’ll be eating
And when the stressful meeting’s done
Excuse yourself and quickly run
For if you find yourself inside
You’ll get a whiff of H. Sulfide
But you’ll know stress has been relieved
If Johns Hopskins research you believed
